Arteriors debuts new showroom

Trendsetting home-furnishings manufacturer Arteriors, based in Carrollton, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and debuts a new showroom at the Dallas International Lighting Market, held in conjunction with the Total Home & Gift Market, which concludes Tuesday.

The new 1,200-square-foot space in the Trade Mart showcases 300 lamps, pendants and chandeliers as well as furniture, wall decor and accessories that are a smaller part of the line. Arteriors will keep its 800-plus selection for designers, architects and home-furnishing retailers in the World Trade Center’s In-Detail showroom.

“The Dallas Arteriors showroom is part of a natural progression for the brand,” says Mark Moussa, the company’s founder and creative director. “It’s a part of the evolution to better service the lighting showrooms that have different needs than our current customers.”

“It’s a dark cocoon of color, raw cement floor and a carefully edited selection of lighting products cross-merchandised with some of our best-selling furniture pieces and accessories,” says Moussa, 54.

Several new items just hit the floor for market. Moussa notes a few favorites including Adele, a brass pendant, and the Charlotte Vintage Chain chandelier that’s constructed from thousands of weathered metal bead chains that swing and undulate like silken fringe.

Setting the showroom apart from the pack is Mottega by Arteriors, a customizable lamp program via iPad that ships within 72 hours. Customers are invited to build a table lamp in five easy steps with the help of a showroom assistant and floor samples.
